As you have all read via here and/or facebook, I spent a week in the hospital that included several days of ICU. It has been quite an ordeal both physically, but on so many other levels, its been quite a rollercoaster.

I want to thank all of you once again for your kind thoughts and prayers, along with a mind blowing number of people from various parts of the world via Johns website, plus all of the message board people here, and so many people surfacing from periods of my life. Many of my kids friends remembering parents of their pals, One was remembering me from John's cubscouts, my God Son, all of his family, and I even had someone see and respond who was my sisters friend when I was a teenager. That is someone over 50 years back in my past.

I am staying at Johns home while necessary remodeling relative to my condition are now in the works. I have some recovery to do and lifestyle changes I have embraced and on a mission to not fail on.

I am so touched by all of your concern for me, I appreciate in more than words can say.

Thanks SW, appreciate the good thoughts. A little update on me, now 3 months later I am doing well and going 3 times a week to physical therapy, taking off weight, and getting much stronger, my work outs take about 3 hours total. "phase one" as I call it of my remodeling is almost finished. We got rid of carpets and old furniture, repainted several rooms, that were old and not great for lung problems. We had new laminate flooring put in, no more carpets in main house, new sofa's. Now on to "phase 2" , the redoing of a Den/kitchen areas with new vinyl flooring, paint, etc. Luckily some lifestyle changes, diet, and home changes are working, can't wait to see the results of the next 3 months. And luckily these changes can at least be managed, so I'm on the right track.
